Re: [WriteLog] CW keying on LPT1 with XP

Ed,

This would be true if other software on the same computer wouldn't key CW. 
But having 2 other programs on the same computer which key cw just fine, I 
would say there is no other checking of the LPT port needed. At least in my 
case all I needed was to get WL to do the same thing 2 other separate 
programs did.
